Cherym Take On Doja Cat’s “Boss Bitch” For International Women’s Day

Fresh from a triumphant album release and UK headline tour, and with their flag firmly planted as one of the hottest new voices in alternative music, Derry indie-punk outfit Cherym have revealed a scorching cover of Doja Cat‘s Boss Bitch for International Women’s Day. A portion of the proceeds from the single will be donated to the Women For Women Palestine Appeal. There will also be a very limited edition 7″ vinyl version of the cover available via Alcopop! Records and the track is available through streaming platforms and as a free to download for all “Yas Bitches” here.

“For International Women’s Day this year we decided we wanted to do something different. We wanted to take our own approach to a song that we felt inspired by. We’ve always felt drawn to Doja Cats’ originality and her take on femininity, which is why we felt so connected to this track in particular. ‘Boss Bitch’ to us is empowering, energetic and has what we would call raw bad bitch energy. The first time I watched the Boss Bitch music video it really conveyed to me what a strong woman is, being able to see life through the lens of a woman instead of being subjected to the male gaze. This is something we wanted to portray for our own version of the song, conveying femininity, masculinity or anything in between through our own self autonomy rather than what’s expected of us as women and femme presenting people.” (guitarist & vocalist Hannah Richardson)

Alongside the cover version, the band have also announced that they will be playing The Great Escape Festival, 2000 Trees Festival, Wales Goes Pop and Badlands Festival this year with further dates to be confirmed. Cherym were also recently hand-picked to support The Undertones by bassist Mickey Bradley on their Autumn 2024 German tour dates. The band will also play their own Netherlands headline dates this month ahead of their support slots with Enter Shikari on their Irish tour dates.
